Here’s a typical East Coast hoplophobe warning of the carnage on the horizon:
Keeping 'em Helpless
Read his whine carefully. Notice that he thinks the National Parks will become more dangerous if CCW holders prowl the countryside. He points out:
US Park Rangers are the most assaulted federal officers in the country.
And also this:
"Low staffing levels are leading to a substantial and critical lack of law enforcement coverage and capability at many refuges across the system. At many refuges, law enforcement coverage is insufficient to ensure the protection of resources and the safety of visitors and refuge staff."
He even throws a little crap at the wall by suggesting that CCW holders might increase poaching. Apparently the fact that poaching would remain illegal whether or not I was capable of self-defense during my park visit seems to escape his logic.
I can conclude nothing from this idiot’s rant beyond that he is totally clueless.

There is a political aspect to this that has nothing to do with firearms or safety: Simple dislike of the people who own firearms. This dislike probably comes from the fear the anti-gun people have of independence, self-reliance, and anyone who even symbolically represents these attributes. But it goes deeper, of course. The notion of people possessing firearms might bother them in their conscience. That is, they are so ruthless in their bullying ways that the fact that people are armed makes them vaguely fearful that somebody they're bullying is going to stand up to them. Being stood up to is the thing bullies hate and fear most of all.
Perhaps the thing that is most reprehensible about socialism is that it goes hand in hand with bullying.
As a side note, in many ways today's universities are laboratories for the cultivation of bullies and bullying.
